****PLEASE NOTE NEW LOCATION IN YOUR REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION****

We'll have a bite to eat (and cookies, of course). We'll review Braver Angels’ ways to engage — then we’ll dive into the topic. By the time we’re done, we’ll all have greater insight into the issues and hear many different perspectives.


Our moderated discussion groups are a place to respectfully exchange ideas and perspectives — without the judging and eye-rolling that’s so common today.


You don’t have to be an expert or agree with anyone there. Just bring your personal viewpoint, speak if you want, and be willing to hear what other people think. Don’t you sometimes wonder?

 

No one will try to change anyone's mind, but we'll probably change how we see each other -- as individuals with complex opinions shaped by our life experiences and not as one-dimensional stereotypes. 

THE BRAVEL ANGELS WAY

✔️We state our views freely and fully, without fear.


✔️We treat people who disagree with us with honesty, dignity and respect.


✔️We welcome opportunities to engage those with whom we disagree.


✔️We believe all of us have blind spots and everyone is worth talking to.


✔️We seek to disagree accurately, avoiding exaggeration and stereotypes.


✔️We look for common ground where it exists and, if possible, find ways to work together.


✔️We believe that, in disagreements, both sides share and learn.


✔️In Braver Angels, neither side is teaching the other or giving feedback on how to think or say things differently.
